Fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition overview
You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint recognition function.
You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
•To unlock the screen.
•To view the locked content in the Gallery or QuickMemo+.
•Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with your fingerprint.
• Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Very similar fingerprints from different users may be recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.
•If the device cannot detect your fingerprint, or you forgot the value specified for registration, visit the nearest LG Customer Service Centre with your device and ID card.
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximise the recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device.
•The device’s Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or key.
•When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the Power/Lock key or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the fingerprint recognised.
•A fingerprint may not be recognised properly if the surface of your finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.
•If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may not be recognised. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface of the Power/Lock key.
Custom-designed Features
•Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
•The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry. If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a metallic object such as coin or key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.
Registering fingerprints
You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint identification.
